“Quality Food Forever in LA”

A true Los Angeles treasure that never seems to change, this circa-1947 West LA legend delivers simple, amazing hickory burgers that fans call "the platonic ideal" alongside old-fashioned pies tendered by a swift, no-nonsense staff that works with military precision; be prepared to jockey for a seat at the U-shaped counter, but it's all part of a nostalgic experience that's a must for any visitor; P.S. cash only. Featured on Burger Land!

Grab a seat at the counter to order The Hickoryburger ($7.10), which was once voted "America's Best Burger" by Men's Health magazine. The secret's in the hickory sauce, a smoky hybrid that sits right between ketchup and BBQ sauce.
